Solar Panel Installation Cost in UAE
At Watts & Ergon, a DEWA-approved solar contractor, we help homeowners and businesses understand real costs and get maximum value from their investment.
Power Factor (PF) measures how efficiently electrical power is used. A low power factor (below 0.9) means you are paying for wasted energy. Power Factor Correction uses capacitor banks to improve PF close to unity (1.0), reducing your electricity bills and improving system efficiency.

| Electricity Bill Savings | 15% – 30% reduction |
| Avoid DEWA Penalties | Eliminates low PF charges |
| Reduced Transformer & Cable Load | Up to 30% less current |
| Increased System Capacity | More load without upgrading infrastructure |
| Lower Carbon Footprint | Improved energy efficiency |
| Extended Equipment Life | Less heat & stress on motors & cables |
| Type | Best For | Cost (AED) | Payback Period | Features |
